News: Douglas Miniatures return to production

In a testament to bad timing, I recently claimed in this blog that Douglas Miniatures are no longer in production. In fact, the long period of dormancy is ending for this range. John Cunningham, who already owns moulds of some other vintage 20mm ranges, has purchased the known Douglas moulds, and is busy bringing them back to market.

John currently offers figures from these makers:

Les Higgins: Marlburians and English Civil War (including more than a dozen new figures)Douglas: Marlburian (they have been remoulded)

He is clearly a very busy fellow, as his current projects include the following:

Getting the Douglas Crimean range back in production (going through remastering and moulding now)

Ditto for the Douglas Napoleonics

Releasing a limited run of Wodensfeld 7 Years War French (expected release at the end of February)

Working on a few other ranges (details to come)

In addition to that, he will be getting around to formalizing a trading name for his company, and perhaps putting up a website.

Until then, you can contact John by email for his lists, and to place orders. He can be reached at: CunnJoh@aol.com. His current prices are:

About the Plastic Pelisse

This blog is concerned with military miniatures that are about one inch high. To be specific, it deals with figures described as being in the following scales: 20mm, 22mm, "traditional" or "true" 25mm, HO, 1/72 or 1/76.

The focus of the blog is to help plastic wargamers select metal figures to complement their forces, and vice versa. To do this, it presents a series of images comparing various metal ranges to plastic ranges for similar subjects.

Rather than follow the blog day by day, most users will want to search for the ranges they are considering, by clicking on the labels below.
